European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG)
EU Transparency Register
565032821273-72 First registered on 13 Apr 2016
Goals / Remit
ENTSOG is a International non-profit association composed of 43 Members and 1 Associated Partners (the Gas Transmission System Operators, "TSOs") from 26 European countries.
ENTSOG was established and given legal mandates by the EU's 3rd Legislative Package for the Internal Energy Market ("3rd EP") in 2009, which aims at further liberalizing the gas and electricity markets in the EU. The role of ENTSOG is to facilitate and enhance cooperation between national gas TSOs across Europe in order to ensure the development of a pan-European transmission system in line with European Union energy goals. The 3rd EP is now replaced by the Hydrogen & Decarbonised Gas Package that stipulates new tasks and obligations towards ENTSOG and its members.
Our specific objectives are to promote the completion of the internal market for gas and stimulate cross-border trade, ensure the optimal management, coordinated operation and sound technical evolution of the natural gas transmission network.Main EU files targeted
ENTSOG takes part in the public consultations and debates, and responds to the solicitations from the EU institutions including planning future activities related to the legislations mentioned under heading 8 and to upcoming legislative files concerning Energy Union Policy.
For instance, the Industrial Management Carbon policies with CCUS technologies.Address

Our interactions with the EU authorities are closely linked to the mandatory tasks that ENTSOG is carrying out under the relevant pieces of EU legislation and our contacts to the EU institutions are closely related to these regulatory tasks. We are of course in the sheer execution of the tasks in regular contact with EU institutions (cfr. article 4.1(d) of the Inter-Institutional Agreement - see explanation in heading 8).
Moreover, we are also in contact with EU institutions in planning and discussing of future tasks, changes of regulation (as stated in heading 9). and we have estimated that 1,25 FTE represents a reasonable average for the time that the General Director and other key staff members (5 having an access badge) are spending on following topics/meetings with the EU institutions representatives regarding such more forward-looking topics.Person in charge of EU relations

Meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
